Learn more about contactless cards

\\r\\n

Contactless cards are the next generation of bank cards. Instead of swiping or inserting a standard bank card, you can make transactions with the quick tap of a contactless bank card. Contactless cards have this symbol on the front or back. If you see this symbol on your card, you can tap it at OMNY readers at subway stations and on buses to make fare payments and enter the system.

\\r\\n

Many banks and financial institutions have started switching to contactless cards to make payments faster and more secure for their customers. If you do not have a contactless card today, you can request one from your bank or financial institution. You can also link a non-contactless card to a digital wallet and use it with your smart device. Keep scrolling to learn more about digital wallets.

\\r\\n

Learn more about digital wallets

\\r\\n

Digital wallets are mobile applications that allow you to make payments with smart devices, such as your smart phone, smart watch, or wearable. Like contactless cards, smart devices also use contactless technology. Before you can make fare payments with your smart device at OMNY readers, you will need to add your bank card to your digital wallet.

\\r\\n

If you have more than one card linked to your digital wallet, make sure to choose which card you want to use before you tap it at an OMNY reader. Otherwise, the OMNY reader will use the default card linked to your digital wallet.

\\r\\n

You may need to unlock your smart device to use your digital wallet. Refer to the user guides and settings for your smart device and digital wallet to learn more.

\\r\\n

When you add your bank card to your digital wallet, it will create a device account number. The device account number is different for each smart device that you use. The last four digits of each device account number will appear in your OMNY account when you tap your smart device at OMNY readers.

The next generation of fare payments

\\r\\n

Say hello to New York’s new fare payment system. OMNY, which stands for One Metro New York, will eventually combine fare payments and ticketing across subways, buses, paratransit, and commuter rail. As we roll out OMNY between 2019 and 2023, you can still use MetroCard, eTix, and other existing fare payment options, giving you the flexibility to choose when OMNY is right for you. Learn more about the rollout.

\\r\\n

To pay your fare at subway turnstiles and on buses, simply tap your contactless card or smart device on the OMNY reader. The screen will instantly confirm if the tap was successful, sending you on your way quickly and easily. Learn more about OMNY readers.

\\r\\n

OMNY supports a full-fare, pay-per-ride option for now, including free transfers. Additional fare options will be available during future phases of the rollout, including reduced fares, student fares, special programs, and more.

Additionally, we may collect the country of card issuance, the card brand (e.g., Visa, MasterCard), and/or the card type (e.g., credit, debit, pre-paid, contactless, transit benefit, etc.). For any transaction, the method by which OMNY authenticates your Payment Method varies, but may include, without limitation, your PIN, billing ZIP code or full billing address to support cardholder verification. \\n

$\\\"Row$

\\n

Just like you swipe or dip your MetroCard at MetroCard readers, you can tap your contactless card or smart device at OMNY readers. To pay the fare, simply tap your contactless credit, debit, or reloadable prepaid card, or your smart phone, smart watch, or wearable.

\\n

As soon as you tap, the OMNY reader will show a message on the screen to confirm if the tap was successful. In certain situations, your tap may not be successful, or the OMNY reader might not be available to accept your tap, so different screens may appear on the OMNY reader. One difference between MetroCard and OMNY is that your free transfer will not be confirmed at the OMNY reader. If your trip qualifies for a free transfer, you will not be charged for that trip. You can register for an OMNY account or sign in to view your trips and charges.
